Abstract

We have investigated, by resonant inelastic light-scattering, the finite in-plane wavevector dispersion of the collective excitations of electron bilayers in AlGaAs/GaAs double quantum wells. As the wavevector is increased the plasmon mode first becomes Landau damped and then at larger wavevectors it re-appears as it emerges from one of the two maxima of the continuum of single-particle excitations in a two-dimensional system with two occupied subbands. These measurements enable quantitative determination of many-body interactions in dilute electron bi-layers.
